After a pair of days off, the Blueshirts are back in action at Madison Square Garden tonight. The Montreal Canadiens are in town for their only visit of the season, and they’ll be squaring off in an Original Six matchup in what some might say is the biggest sporting event involving a New York team today.
With their wild comeback victory over the Dallas Stars on Thursday, the Rangers extended their point streak to seven games, sporting a 5-0-2 record over that stretch. The fourth game of that streak was a 4-1 victory in Montreal for the Rangers, and another win tonight will clinch the season series for Gerard Gallant’s squad.
